2013 Draft Discussion

@ProfessorParks I don't think people realize how many players abuse Adderall. It's a legit issue. You do what you can to get ahead. Some get caught.

 

Obviously it's the drug of choice for ordinary college students.

[Guest]

What a dummy for getting caught. It's not like that stuff stays in your system forever. He must have been really popping it.

He would have almost had to take it within six to 12 hours of the test. That's dumb and dumber stupid if he knew he was going to be tested.

Maybe some angry ex-girlfriend spiked his drink with it.

[davell]

I think I want him more. Take him at 2 and get a bigtime discount on him. He's still a top 3 talent. Arguello mentioned Houston taking advantage this way. They may be able to get him for half of slot. I'd do it.

According to an ADHD buddy of mine, his doctor told him that the highest dosage of Adderall you can legally be given is basically low grade cocaine.

 

I've taken it before in college to help study, and it certainly worked. There's a reason students abuse it so much, it can be addictive but it truly does help you focus a lot, though I'm guessing Mr. Gray isn't taking any summer classes at the moment.

It's an amphetamine and doesn't help people to concentrate, just the opposite. In some people with ADHD it s known to have a "paradoxical" effect calming the CNS. Kids abuse it because they are stupid, and for no other reason.

For those who don't have ADHD and take it, it actually does help them concentrate.

Richard Sherman approves.

@JonHeymanCBS major leaguers can receive exemptions for stimulants. 1 GM said he didnt see Gray's failure as a big issue.

What? It's an amphetamine, a stimulant. People with ADHD may have a different reaction from a drug then people without ADHD.

Yes it does. Vyvanse especially. Particularly for those with ADD-PI.

Marshall RHP Aaron Blair, a potential Cubs target at 41, also tested positive for Adderall.

this my last post on the subject as it is an unwanted tangent, but no. CNS stimulants do not help people to concentrate. For about 70% of the people who have some form of attention deficit disorder the drugs decrease CNS activity. Don't believe me look up Shaheen E Lakhan and Annette Kirchgessner's 2012 article in Brain and Behavior.

[Epsteenie]

You are talking about people with ADD and I am talking about people without ADD who abuse Adderall, such as Jonathan Gray.

[ConstableRabbit]

Yea adderall never did much for me except stop me from ever wanting to eat again.

Gray doesn't have much room for extra weight at 6'4, 240.

What he's saying is that it's a stimulant and does, for whatever paradoxical reason, help many people with ADHD calm down and concentrate and it does not help people without ADHD.

[Clem Fandango]

Adderall made me consider changing my major to Geology. Then I studied for my next Geology test without Adderall and wanted to throw the book through the window.

I know. What I was trying to say is that for those who don't have ADD it can improve focus and concentration. That's why a lot of baseball players abuse it.

 

Anyways, Law seems to think it will improve the chances of him being taken #1 b/c the Astros will have an easier time low balling him. Not sure I'm buying it, but it's interesting.

Except you're wrong. It simply acts as a stimulant for people without ADD. If you have ADD, it can have the opposite effect, which is to relax you enough so you can sit still and pay attention. In no way, shape or form does it help a person without ADD concentrate. You're wrong. Baseball players take it because they can't take greenies anymore.

Lol you are really struggling with comprehension right now.

[Epsteenie]

Lol you are really struggling with comprehension right now.

 

That's very possible. It's been a really long day. But I'm not sure what was wrong. I said Adderall has different effects for people with ADD and those without ADD. I agreed that for people with ADD it helps calm them. And I said that for people without ADD it acts as a stimulant. And stimulants do help people concentrate and focus. I've taken Adderall and I felt very focused. If that's wrong then oh well.
